The regular season has officially come to an end and we can now turn our attention entirely to the American League Wild Card Game. Neither the A’s nor Yankees have announced a starting pitcher, but we can still take a crack at projecting each team’s roster and starting lineup.

Reading between the lines, it appears RHP Liam Hendriks is a strong favorite to start for Oakland, while New York’s decision will probably come down to LHP J.A. Happ and RHP Luis Severino. Based on recent performance, Happ figures to be the likely choice, but we will project A’s lineups for both pitchers.

Normally Nick Martini would lead off, but against left-handed pitchers, manager Bob Melvin likes to play Mark Canha instead because he tears up southpaws. Canha could potentially hit as high as sixth in the order, but Matt Olson usually bats there to break up the string of right-handed hitters. Ramón Laureano typically leads off against lefties and has been excellent in that role. The heart of the A’s order — Matt Chapman, Jed Lowrie, and Khris Davis — will be the same regardless of who pitches.

This has been the A’s standard lineup against right-handed pitching. Martini had an on-base percentage of .397 during the regular season and has performed extremely well in the leadoff spot. Olson jumps up to the five spot in this scenario because he bats left-handed, and Laureano drops to seven, where he has also produced this season, hitting for average and power. The middle of the order remains the same, and Marcus Semien and Jonathan Lucroy provide production at the bottom of the lineup.

Andrew McCutchen has hit well wherever the Yankees put him in the lineup, whether it’s one, two, or three. But with Aaron Hicks swinging a hot bat as well, McCutchen will likely lead off, allowing Hicks to bat third. He will be sandwiched between Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, two of the best power hitters in the game. Luke Voit, Didi Gregorius, and Miguel Andujar are fairly interchangeable, and they all hit for power. The Bronx Bombers lived up to their name this year, setting a new single-season record with 267 home runs. They certainly don’t have any holes in their lineup.
